Barack Obama
The Public Record
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Illinois in the U.S. Senate from 2005 to 2008 and served in the Illinois State Senate from 1997 to 2004. Obama is known for his signature policies including the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and his efforts in economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis. His presidency was marked by significant legislative achievements and a focus on healthcare reform, climate change, and foreign policy initiatives such as the Iran nuclear deal.
That effort begins with a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel: our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy.
Our job is to do more than lay out another road map; our job is to rebuild the road to real peace and lasting security throughout the region.
I opposed this war from the beginning - in part because I believed that giving this President the open-ended authority to invade Iraq would lead to the open-ended occupation we find ourselves in today.
The threat of violence is real. Our job is to renew the United States' efforts to help Israel achieve peace with its neighbors while remaining vigilant against those who do not share this vision.
We must also preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs.
As the U.S. redeploys from Iraq, we can recapture lost influence in the Middle East.
I think the entire failure, not just restricted to Walter Reed, but overall, is scandalous. The fact that we have got veterans who are homeless and going through Dumpsters is scandalous.
It's not clear to me why I -- why would I be apologizing for someone else's remarks?
My sense is that Mr. Geffen may have differences with the Clintons. That doesn't really have anything to do with our campaign.
